Get up, we are welcoming distinguished guests, there is no need to make a fuss."
Suddenly, with a "slurp" sound, a snow-white object rushed in, rolling its gem-like eyes and staring at her... Is it Snow Silver? This small animal looked energetic at this time, and seemed to be treated well by Xiao Jiu. She had always been thinking about this little thing. She gave it to Xiao Jiu at that time because she was afraid that someone would hunt it after the hunting competition. Originally, fox fur was the material for the cloak, and Snow Silver... She heard from that person that it was one of the most precious animal furs. It helped them a lot, how could she let it be imprisoned? She must find a way to persuade Xiao Jiu to send it back to the forest.
King Xia was still standing motionless at the door, looking at her with a frown, shock and slight anger flashing in his eyes.
But Xiao Jiuer was very powerful. He jumped in, called out "Eighth sister-in-law" to her, frowned, and stretched out his little hand to pull her up, but he was too small and weak to do anything, and he fell down himself.
He stood up from the ground with a thud, his little mouth twisted, he looked at her again, wrinkled his nose, and the howling she had thought did not happen. Xiaojiu wiped his eyes and reached out to pull her. She couldn't help laughing, and took this opportunity to divert her gaze from the conflict with Xia Wang. She tried to stand up with a little effort, but she felt dizzy.
Xiao Jiu then remembered something, held her hand and turned back to shout at King Xia, "Brother Jiu, what are you still doing standing there? Xiao Jiu can't help Sister-in-law Ba."
King Xia was startled, then he came over in a flash, glanced at her, and whispered, "Eighth sister-in-law, you are being too polite."
Qiaochu originally thought that King Xia would ask the two maids to put down the gifts and help, but she didn't expect that he would do it himself. At the moment when he stretched out his hands to hold her up steadily, she seemed to see his eyes lightly glance at the two maids... She was startled, he actually thought of this.
His arms were as broad and strong as that man's, and just as warm. When her frozen body touched his warmth, she instinctively moved a little closer to him.
What is she doing! She cursed herself inwardly and was about to move away, but King Xia sensed it keenly and slightly tightened his arm.
He walked very slowly for a few steps... After she was put back on the couch, she thanked him, but she saw that King Xia seemed to be staring at a certain part of her body. She followed his gaze and saw her own bare feet.
"Qiaochu" has small feet, her toenails are round and slightly rosy, her ankles are slender, and her feet are beautiful and white. Her face turned red, she coughed lightly, and said softly, "It's so cold", then she pulled the quilt to cover her lower body.
King Xia was embarrassed. He had no intention of spying, but his eyes accidentally fell on her feet. Thinking of the feeling of holding her in his arms just now, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Although he has not married yet, he has had many women. At this time, he was like a young boy who had just experienced the world. Moreover, this person was his sister-in-law. Fortunately, Qiaochu didn't say anything.
Qiaochu saw Xia Wangjun's face blushing and staring at her. She was even more embarrassed than him. She glanced at the outer robe that was still on the corner of the couch and said softly, "Master Jiu, could you trouble the girl you brought with you to get something for Qiaochu?"
Prince Xia was also a smart man. He understood immediately after following her gaze. He looked at the two maids and ordered, "Hurry up and get something for Concubine Qiao."
The two maids were also very smart. They quickly placed the gifts in their hands on the table. One of them quickly walked to the end of the couch and brought over an outer robe.
Xiao Jiuer and the fox Yuanbao were staring blankly at King Xia and Qiaochu. At this moment, Xiao Jiu was rudely turned over by his brother, and Yuanbao also made a "squeak" sound and imitated the two of them to twist their bodies.
Xiaojiu was not very happy and shouted, "Why can't I look at Eighth Sister-in-law, Brother Jiu, I tell you, Eighth Sister-in-law is very pretty, I want to play with Eighth Sister-in-law."
"Shut up, or I'll beat you up." King Xia threatened viciously.
Xiaojiu snorted, but kept silent.
With the help of two maids, Qiaochu put on her outer robe. They also rolled up her black hair and combed it into a simple palace bun. They took the pearl hairpin from the dressing box on the table and pinned it on her hair.
She took advantage of this gap to look at the three people in front of her, oh no, two people and one beast, who were all facing away from her. She thought of how Xiao Jiuer was forced by his brother to turn his back just now. She felt a little amused, but also a little warm and grateful... Although this man, who she had never met before, was proud and domineering, he respected her.
Her heart was actually cold and warm at this moment. She was thinking, and then she heard King Xia suddenly say: "Well, come here..."
One of the maids bowed to her, tucked in her skirt, and ran over, "Master, Ling'er is here."
Qiaochu smiled... He still couldn't remember the names of his servants, but it was not his fault, as the family was wealthy and powerful.
Suddenly she was slightly startled, and saw King Xia take off his cloak, hand it to the maid, and whispered: "Go, put it on Concubine Qiao."

But when the cloak with the man's body temperature fell on her body, Qiaochu's nose suddenly felt sore, and she heard the tall and straight figure in front of her say, "This... cloak is certainly not as good as the ones in the Bage's house, nor is it as good as the fox cloak I gave you last time, but it's still good. The weather outside has changed, and it's getting colder, Sister-in-law, you just have to use it for now."
Qiaochu choked up slightly, and after a while, he said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Master Jiu, for being so thoughtful. Master Jiu's things are of course the best."
King Xia seemed very happy, "If you like it, I'll give you this cloak as well."
Qiaochu was startled, and blurted out, "Thank you, Master Jiu, for your kindness. It's cold, so you should keep the cloak with you. Qiaochu brought the fox fur coat with him before, but I'll just keep it with the girl."
She did bring the thousand-year-old fox fur with her, but one time, she accidentally heard a maid envy Bishui's cloak. Bishui was very proud of it and said that her cloak was a reward from the master. Although it was not as good as the famous thousand-year-old fox fur of King Xia, it was definitely a good piece of stuff.
Although she was grateful for King Xia's kindness, she had a vague feeling that keeping the fox fur would bring trouble, so she wanted to take advantage of this trip to return the fox fur to King Xia.
But in the current situation, she was worried that King Xia only brought one cloak with him, and it would be troublesome if he caught a cold because of her, so she used the fox fur to make excuses.
Unexpectedly, King Xia turned around suddenly, stared at her, and asked, "Did you really bring the fox cloak with you? Have you been carrying it with you all the time?"

Chapter 166: Bonfire Night Competition - King Xia's Fox Fur (3)
After hearing what King Xia said, Qiaochu felt a little regretful.
Originally, what she said just now was to make him give up the idea of giving him clothes again, first for him, and second to avoid suspicion, but now he seems to have completely different ideas, and seems to be happy that she can always bring his gifts. In this way, how can she return the fox fur to him? He will definitely be unhappy.
The affection in mind is the most important thing that cannot be abandoned, so she will keep the fox fur coat and just be careful not to let others see it in the future.
King Xia was still staring at her, as if waiting for her answer.
She had no choice but to nod.
It was just this simple action that made her see a long, bright smile in his eyes.
She was stunned for a moment, and then she heard him whisper, "I have been carrying the gift you gave me, Jingcong."
In mid-air, between the man's slender fingers, he held a lacquered gold foil purse embroidered with red and blue flowers.
The purse seemed to be taken from the pendant on his waist...
The embroidery technology in the north is backward, and this kind of purse with exquisite patterns was brought to the north from Dongling, and many women love to use it.
People are divided into noble and humble, but this little gadget is not divided into the palace and the common people. The palace uses it and the common people use it, even if the price is very different. But in fact, the technology of the common people's workshop is not inferior to that of the palace workshop. It's just that in order to show the nobility of the palace, the common people's workshop was forced to make some differences in the connection between the inner bottom of the purse and the bottom of the surface. If you open the inner bottom of the purse, you will find a small "civilian system" printed there. In addition, the bottom seam of the surface will use several threads of different colors from the purse base color, which will bring defects to a handicraft.
However, not many people know this second subtle point. No matter whether it is the palace or the noble ladies, the embroidered bags they receive are made in the palace workshop. No one would open them to check, let alone those gentlemen who do not use purses. They use relatively simple and larger brocade bags.
She knew all this because she liked these little gadgets and was interested in them professionally. She guessed that there must be a difference between official and civilian products, so she looked up the information. People like Qiaomei could get the official products at will, but Miluo and she could only buy them in civilian markets.
Following the embroidery thread on the bottom corner of the purse, she could tell at a glance that it was hers, because the ladies in the palace or the official families would not use things from this private workshop. She brought a few with her when she came here. She liked blue, so all the embroidered purses she brought were blue.
She suddenly remembered that on the day of the Concubine Selection Competition, she first gave small dates to King Xia... Of course, she was just teasing him at that time. Later, when King Xia sent her back to Prince Rui's Palace, she gave him another bag of small dates. The second time, she was sincere and grateful.
The purse that King Xia is carrying now should be the one from the second time.
On the day of the concubine selection contest, Shangguan Jinghong was also there. He knew that he had disguised himself as an old friend and exchanged sandalwood, dates and purses in that house... No wonder he seemed to have stared at King Xia's waist on the night he first came to the enclosure.
Of course, he didn't love her and would never be angry or jealous, but she also hoped that he didn't misunderstand anything.
After all, this is not good for King Xia.
She had never thought that King Xia would carry this thing with him. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "I feel uneasy if you carry it with you all the time. It's just a gift that you can't show off. It's an insult to your status."
Upon hearing this, King Xia said in a deep voice, "I don't like you saying that. I will take it with me because no one has ever given me such a gift."
He sneered as he spoke: "Every one of those people below wants to get something from me. What they are thinking about is how useful I, the emperor's son, can be to them!"

"It was Qiaochu who made a mistake. Don't blame me, Master Jiu for being so frank."
She was slightly startled, stood up and bowed slightly before sitting back on the couch. His frank words made her like him even more, and she thought to herself, this man is really open and straightforward.
King Xia changed the subject and said, "Then why... have you been carrying that fox fur coat?"
"I never received a present, that was the first one I ever received."
The words fell softly.
She saw King Xia frown, as if he was suddenly stunned, and even the two maids who were dressing her were stunned for a moment... It seemed that they had never expected that she, with her status, had never received anything.
Qiaochu smiled bitterly. Since she didn't plan to return the fox fur to him, she couldn't tell him what she had said before. This answer was not a gesture of goodwill, but the truth. Before she brought the fox fur here, she had kept it well.
Xiaojiu was just turned around by his brother and was not allowed to look at him inappropriately. Later, his brother did not follow the rules and turned around to talk to Qiaochu first. Xiaojiu was unwilling to suffer a loss, so he turned around and looked at Qiaochu and listened to what the two of them said.
Hearing this, he ran to Qiaochu, put his head on her lap, looked up at her, and said seriously: "Don't be sad, Eighth Sister-in-law. There are many things in Ninth Brother's house. If you like, just take them. When Xiaojiu grows up, he will have his own mansion, and the things in it will be given to you. That way, you will have many gifts."
Qiaochu was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. She liked this child. She didn't know why this child liked to be close to her, but it was her blessing after all.
With some difficulty, she held him on her lap and kissed his little forehead tenderly.
Xiaojiu was stunned for a moment, then he shouted and laughed excitedly, hugged her neck and giggled, rubbing his head against her arms.
"Xiaojiu, are you itching
